Black Static #38 Horror Magazine

The January–February 2014 issue is dedicated to the memory of TTA Press magazine supporter and contributor of twenty years Joel Lane, who passed away in November 2013. Nicholas Royle pays tribute to his dear friend in 'The Conscience of the Circuit'.
Black Static 38 contains new horror and dark fantasy fiction by John Grant, Tim Waggoner, Andrew Hook, Maura McHugh, Danny Rhodes and, this issue’s debut author, Malcolm Devlin. The front and back cover art is by Joachim Luetke, and interior illustrations are by George Cotronis, Richard Wagner, David Gentry, Vincent Sammy, and Geoffrey Grisso. The usual features are present: Coffinmaker's Blues by Stephen Volk and Blood Pudding by Lynda E. Rucker (comment); Blood Spectrum by Tony Lee (DVD/Blu-ray reviews); Case Notes by Peter Tennant (book reviews: includes an interview with author Gary Fry and a review of Paul Meloy's 'Dogs with their Eyes Shut'.)
Black Static is essentially a fiction magazine containing short stories in the horror and dark fantasy genres. But it covers other aspects of the genre via comment columns, reviews of books, movies, DVDs and TV.
